DW S4 Ep 8 & 9 Review

[tromana]

*flails a lot*

I really liked River as a protagonist. In fact, all the guest characters seemed well developed and pretty memorable - especially compared to some earlier in the series. (I can't remember anyone from Planet of the Ood, for example, apart from Ood Sigma and being rather annoyed by the GIANT BRAIN.) The cliffhanger at the end of Silence

You remind me that I must watch the Confidential as I've not done so yet !

I think we're meant to assume that whatever she did on the "throne" with the "crown" destroyed River's body. But I'm not buying it, 'cos we didn't SEE her body (I've watched the ending again twice since I saw the ep this morning) - my batshit, let me show you it ! :P

I didn't watch all of Confidential. I saw Romana, flailed like a madwoman, then put on Tomb of the Cybermen.

I really didn't get that. Obviously. The thing is, theoretically other 'saved' peoples bodies may have been destroyed and then they got resurrected.

Not seeing her body means it didn't happen. I like that theory.

I see !

Well exactly - that's why I'm not buying it...

LOL ! I can be as batshit as the next person (well nearly as - depending on who the next person is of course !)

I haven't sat through an entire Confidential for ages.

If it's (almost) anyone in Who fandom, that is very batshit!

Romana was in the Confidential???

*runs to download it now*

I normally watch Confidential but we were getting ready to go out during Doctor Who, so I missed it.

[tromana]

Yes!

Russell even spoke about her briefly. :D

I flailed like a madwoman... then got bored of Confidential and put on Tomb of the Cybermen

[sneakyangel]

OMG!!!!

*yells at internet to download faster*

I think I will flail a lot too.

[tromana]

=D

It was unexpected and awesome and if there were a lot of people here, I would have embarressed myself. Thankfully, there was only Nick.

Saying that, next week, I've been told I'm dressing up as Princess Astra for No. Apparrant. Reason.
